What does it actually take to break into Hollywood and stay there for over 20 years? In this episode of Talk About It with Franjez, we are joined by legendary screenwriter and director Glenn Gers, the creative mind behind hit films like Fracture (starring Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling) and Mad Money.  Hosted by Franjez and guest co host Michael Muqattash, we dive deep into Glenn’s journey from making silent Super 8 movies as a kid to navigating the high stakes world of studio rewrites. Glenn shares candid lessons on: 

• The "Freestyle" Philosophy: Why you should learn the rules only to bend them to fit your unique style. 

• Survival in the Industry: His 10 year journey from working as a receptionist with a Yale degree to landing a major deal with Billy Crystal and Tribeca Films. 

• The Art of the Rewrite: A behind the scenes look at the making of Fracture and how to survive being fired (and rehired) in Hollywood. 

• Directing Advice: Why you should start making "DIY" indie films today with whatever technology you have.  Whether you are an aspiring screenwriter, a filmmaker, or someone looking for clarity and intention in your career, approach to creative persistence is a must watch.
